Lean License Management via SAP

The integration of CodeMeter License Central with SAP, the world champion business suite, offers a significant advancement in back office performance. License lifecycle management and entitlement are incorporated within the existing workflow. The ERP system is enriched with automatic features for generating license codes, transmitting them to the user, and tracking their activation.

A Safer Journey for Java Applications

Java is everywhere and risks are lurking at every corner of the Java journey. To circumnavigate them, AxProtector Java comes with the ability to automatically encrypt the Java Byte Code. It can only be decrypted on the fly during loading and before the JVM springs into action, and only if the right license is available. No decrypted Byte Code will find its way onto the hardware during the entire process. And all hardware and software-based CodeMeter license containers are supported.

Protecting .NET Standard 2.0 Applications

.NET Standard provides a specification for the .NET APIs that simplifies interoperability and compatibility between different .NET environments, making it easier for developers to implement their applications or migrate from one platform to another.
